As long as I can remember, I have always wanted to be a teacher.  

I started my career in Kearney at UNK teaching preschool.  I worked closely with college students, preschool children, and parents.  As time passed, I was given different college classes to teach including child development, infant development and development across the lifespan.  

My second job was in Akron, Ohio.  I accepted a position as Associate Director for the Center for Child Development at the University of Akron.  I taught preschool, college classes and supervised teachers and students.

My third job was in Columbia, Missouri.  I was only there one year and was an instructional math coach for 4th grade.

From there we moved to Lincoln and I accepted a teaching position in Kindergarten for LPS.  I taught Kindergarten for several years before moving to 1st grade.  From that position I got to experience being a classroom support and intervention teacher for  3 years.  Now, I am back in 1st grade and can't wait to meet your 1st grader.  

I am married and have two children.   It has given me  hands on experience also being a parent.  

All my experiences have helped me to learn and grow in knowledge of children, families and education.   I love to learn and learn every day!

 I feel priviledged to be partnering with you and your child this year!
